We bought daypass from the bus driver who took us to the city centre, then walked to the polar museum by the waterfront, it was an interesting place but became very hot and crowded so left it earlier than we would have. Once we returned to the Dock, we walked to the Northern light planetarium through the botanical garden, it was really worthwhile.

We truly enjoyed the Sami camp and reindeer sledding! It is true. We also didn’t get to see the lights. You have to get lucky. Because it would start to snow in the afternoon and evening, the clouds would obscure the lights. Time of night important. It seemed the folks who saw the lights went between 11 pm and 3 am. You have to be VERY patient (and) lucky. Another option is set up an excursion with a private tour group. The people who did that had greater success with seeing the lights. Hope this helps!

In the morning we took a private tour to visit the Sami and the reindeer. Very enjoyable. At night we took a private excursion to see the Northern Lights. We were extraordinarily lucky that night and were thrilled by what we saw.

Did the helicopter excursion by Helitrans and it was the best one I’ve ever done. We also enjoyed the gondola to the top of Fjellheisen. So beautiful.

Lovely stop. Taxi rides to cable cart approx 300nok one way. Amazing views and mountain climbs once at the top. It’s an amazing place to visit and lots to do.

Another day didn’t really have much planned but then had the best fun packed day! Went to the cable car up the mountain amazing view of the island and great trek up the hill felt like we were in the clouds. Then walked to the cathedral which is unique and then over the bridge which was Amazing into the city. The gardens were lush.. and the sun shone all day... perfect

We did not partake of a short excursion, but went to the stunningly beautiful Alpine Botanical Garden and several museums. There's no reason to waste time or money on a shore excursion in Tromso.

Tromso is one of my favorites, before we have always been in the summer with 24 hours day light. This was different. It was their coldest November in over 70 years there was 2-3 feet of snow. It was dark by 14:15 and by then it was -9-10 deg C. Don,t book the excursions everything in town is an easy walk or use the local bus to get to Fjellheisen Cable Car this is a must do trip providing it’s not low cloud. The views over Tromso are great. Another interesting thing to visit is the Polar museum.
